Small and Private Traditional Wedding
We wanted a very small, low-keyed traditional ceremony. Knowing how politically exposed we both are, -both public servants with an army of friends, families, and followers, we'd hope a family only affairs. Somehow we managed to pull it out to the dissatisfaction of some friends. Our both families have been back and forth for several months on dates selection and kola nuts exchange and acceptance. Once we both were in town for the election-runoff- and our families have done all the necessary behind the scenes prep, we both hit the green light hoping we would kill two birds with a stone. Only one bird was killed. Curious about the other bird? Well, we didn't vote because a party was unsatisfied with the first round result and tool the National Elections Commission to court. As we write, the case is still ongoing. When we were still finishing up our last chew, our Facebook notification kept blowing off to pleasantries. We sent out very few invite through inboxes but to our surprise, the Masjid was full and the reception seat couldn't hold everyone despite the distance. The next day I phoned into a senior "brother" in a very high office for an unrelated matter. He wasn't a guest and wasn't informed about the previous day event, but our conversation ended with congratulations. "I saw it in the papers though you didn't invite me," he said. Papers? Now that's surprising. We didn't invite any papers. Babe went and found the paper. Thanks to our friends at Inquirer Newspaper. You really pull us a surprise. Thank you all and we are sincerely sorry to our mentors and friends who didn't get an invite...Follow our story on where it all started and the next huge thing coming soon.
